Hey Guys, so just a few thoughts before I get started. For those of you who don't know, this is my first time blogging. I don't know that it is something I will do consistently but I figured it might be fun to try it. I would love to hear your thoughts, whether you want to talk about the post or you have some advice that I can use if I decide to blog again. Thanks, and I hope you enjoy that blog.

Last Friday, like just about everyone else with a 3DS, I headed to my local GameStop to pick up Star Fox 64 3D. I dove into the Main Game as soon as I got home and I defeated Andross' True Form, several hours later. And it was a blast! As I played, a flurry of memories began rushing back to me. Particularly memories from my childhood when I first got an N64 and began playing Video Games. Whether the N64 like me, or the Playstation or DreamCast, most gamers fondly remember their first days playing Video Games. I remember the first 2 games I owned were Pokemon Snap and Super Smash Bros. Before that I played Mega Man X on my friend's SNES. Playing Star Fox 64 3D brought back memories of these great games. And after seeing how awesome games can be if they are remade withe todays new technology, I think it would be a shame not to bring these games to today's audience of gamers.

When Nintendo began releasing new 3D games on it's N64, it seemed as though the entire industry was rushing to create new 3D versions of their most beloved franchises. One of these games, was Donkey Kong 64. Developed by Rare, DK 64 felt like an entirely different series from the Donkey Kong Country games.

DK 64 was similar to Super Mario 64, in that it involved Donkey Kong, running, swimming, and climbing through various levels. You took control of Donkey Kong, battling King K Rool and his minions. Your goal was to free your fellow apes, Diddy, Tiny, Lanky and Chunky. After freeing them, they became available to play as and each had unique skills. Each of them also had some kind of ranged weapon (DK's Coconut Cannon for instance) as well as an instrument. Donkey Kong 64 was a breath of fresh air after years of 2D platformers. An easy first step would be to re-release DK 64 on the 3DS so Ninty could gage its popularity in today's audience. Please Nintendo make it happen!!!

Ocarina of Time was a helluva game. And it makes for a hard act to follow, but Majora's Mask was a pretty successful game. It took the stellar Zelda gameplay we know and love, give it a dark and gloomy tone complimented by a devious looking Moon preparing to destroy you, and add Masks to shake up the gameplay a little bit. Majora's Mask is remembered as one of the darkest, creepiest, Zelda games. The main idea of Zelda: MM is that you have 72 hours to stop the Skull Kid from destroying the world. Luckily, you have the handy Song of Time to return to the first day if you begin to run out of time.

This is one of the more likely games to see a re-release. It worked with Ocarina of Time so I will truly be shocked if they don't remake this game for 3DS. But I also think it would be pretty cool to see elements of this game return in a future Zelda even if it is a small easter egg, I would love to roll around Hyrule as a Goron again.

I know, I know. I am still pissed off that Capcom canned MML3 myself but I couldn't bring myself to replace it. For those of you who don't know Capcom was developing a new MegaMan Legends game for the 3DS. Unfortunately it cancelled the project in July. This pissed off tons of poeple who had been waiting years for a new MML. But for whatever reason, Capcom is done with the game and has no plans to finish it at this time. HOWEVER, I am still holding onto hope that we will get some kind of new Legends game soon. The original was a 3D version of MegaMan with RPG and Platforming elements. It was a really fun game and it will be a shame if Capcom forgets the franchise.

Most of you have probably played Star Fox in one form or another at this point. Luckily Star Fox still sees a release every so often. Not everyone enjoyed Assault but I personally did. Not my favorite game but Multiplayer was pretty fun. My problem with Star Fox is it's inconsistent. I love that they wanted to have level variety in SF: Assault, but it's ground sections just weren't as good as the rest. Nintendo just has to decide where it's going with the series. They can make it flight focused and knock the Arwing levels out of the park, or they can keep the level variety and improve the gameplay all around.

Another must for the series is online play. Look at Mario Kart for example. Like Star Fox the value of Mario Kart is replay value. Star Fox desperately needs a matchmaking system. Star Fox 64 3D was quite fun but it would have gamers playing for months if it had online support. Please Nintendo, make it happen!!

This one is another tough one. While it remains one of my favorite games, Rare now works with Microsoft. So this is an unlikely one but i still want it to happen. I played and enjoyed Nuts & Bolts but it just wasn't the same. It felt like a fun spin off but not BK. I loved creating crazy vehicles but that isnt what Banjo is about.

I want more classic platforming Banjo. They should have introduced variety through modern platforming techniques rather than vehicle parts. But like I said I don't see this happening except maybe on Xbox.

Honorable Mentions: Mystical Ninja- This game was definitely out there but still pretty fun

GoldenEye- Seriously who doesn't love GoldenEye. And no a remake will no longer suffice.

So that's it. Hope you enjoyed it. I like making lists like this so if i make another it will probably be like this. Thanks for reading it and I would love to hear your favorite N64 games in the comments section.
